We met with Lisa to discuss ideas on remodeling our 1990s-era bathrooms because we were unsure of how to proceed. Lisa was able to present us a new vision, rescaling our plans and saving us a significant amount of money while still achieving our goal of creating an elegant, updated look and enhancing the function of the spaces. The savings on our bathroom remodels will allow us to embark on other redecorating projects that we thought were beyond our reach. We are thrilled! Lisa has amazing insights into melding function with beauty, and she has an appreciation of and respect for collectibles and antiques, and how best to display them to tell our family story. She has extensive resources to help us realize our vision. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Lisa to enhance our entire home, thereby enriching our family life. We are so pleased to have her as our guide in this journey! Kristine W.

She is an absolute delight and has a very keen eye for her designs. We sold our house in Wake Forest in a day, following an upgrade to our kitchen. On that project she helped us with the contractors the layout design the new appliances, granite countertops, cabinets. Everything from A to Z! She and her team then followed us to Wilmington on a new purchase and performed her magic to improve the interior design and updates. We sold that house 18months later in 8 hrs from listing!!! We moved back to Wendell for our retirement home and she has helped us transform a 1977 Rancher into a modern beauty.

I worked with Lavish for over a year on a major remodel and would never recommend them. Jenny is nice and I love her design aesthetic but I found them disorganized, unreliable, and dishonest.

Working with Shawn is AMAZING! He's talented, personable, and a great listener…read more We purchased a 1977 townhouse that looked like the 80s moved in and never left. There was wallpaper everywhere, a kitchen in a dark corner of the house, and a master bathroom that lacked form and function. Shawn made recommendations that enhanced the layout of our home and helped create spaces we adore. He can look at a floorplan, imagine it without walls, then redraw the walls to their best advantage. He also made decor suggestions that were highly functional and incredibly beautiful. The attached photos are of our new kitchen, formerly the dining room. Shawn recommended the dining room to kitchen switch, including widening the opening and cabinet layout. He encouraged us to look beyond quartz and check out Quartzite (a natural stone with heat tolerance), recommended new framing to turn a troublesome window into a feature, chose the backsplash, and recommended the graceful barstools with backs that add beautiful interest to the space. The stools also offer sturdy bases, full backs, and subtle sides making it safe for even my toddler to take a seat at the bar. Hire him. If he makes a recommendation you hate, tell him and he'll come up with something else. If you're on the fence, trust him. He has vision and exceptionally good taste. You will love it when it's done.

It was extremely important for my husband and I to find someone who understood our style and what…read morewe were looking for although we had no way of explaining it other than saying, "We just want it took look nice and have a wow factor to it." Believe me, We've said that to plenty but no one could grasp what we were trying to say. Shawn has skills and talent that not many designs have. Let me not forget to mention patience. I couldn't explain my style to him, I just know when I see it if I like it and I get overwhelmed by too many options. Previous designer I've dealt with in the past had a certain style which served no purpose to me at all because it wasn't mine. However, the moment Shawn walked in and after a few moments his super powers kicked it and he got to work. He was skilled in asking the right questions to determine our style. Once he had the idea he knew how to present enough options without being too overwhelming. He understands aesthetics. Delivery was on point and everything he designed and recommended 100% matched our style. He's very knowledgeable and well connected. He thinks outside the box and explained materials, fabrics and lighting to my husband and I and how they work in a way we've never imagine. We had no idea about up lighting and why this material will compliant that fabric and this wall color goes with that color or this wall paper needs that kind of lighting. He explained the why behind certain concepts which was helpful to my husband who is very analytical. Absolutely talented and the outcome of our project left us speechless. He told us to trust him, which we did and he exceeded our expectations and did it all within budget. He was respectful of both opinions and styles and able to come up with options and designs that was the perfect blend of both our taste. Every fixture, all furniture pieces, wall covering and even the accessories he's chosen are absolutely amazing. It looks as if we spent a fortune but he stayed within budget. He had access and knew where to find all of our furniture, upholstery and wall paper. I wanted a white piece of furniture but I have little ones. Shawn, made my dream come true and was able to find the furniture also with kid proof fabric. Now, I have that look I wanted and not be afraid of my kids destroying it. He knows his product and I can honestly say he has perfected his craft. When we come home it feels like we live in one of the homes from HGTV.

My husband and I moved to Cary from south Florida last year. We rented a house, intending to stay…read morethere while we scoped out the area - but then this fantastic townhouse came on the market and we had to buy it. Next question: What to put in it? It's much bigger than our rental house - and much nicer. That said, we didn't want to spend crazy money on new furniture (we've made that mistake before) - but on the other hand, we wanted nice stuff (i.e., not Rooms to Go). We recognize our limitations, so I searched for someone who could help us with our new home - and luckily enough found Amy. She first went to our rental house (where we were still living) to see what we already had, get an idea of our colors, artwork, etc., then went to our new (empty) home. We were, frankly, amazed at some of her suggestions - amazed just because they *never* would have occurred to us. As soon as she saw our (very large) master BR suite, she noted that there was ample space to fit our existing living room furniture. She also suggested that we have the mantle in the living room (which was crazy high) lowered. ??!! We did not know such a thing was even possible. Amy had great recommendations for - and accompanied us on - furniture shopping trips (can't say enough about Cooper's - must get to their review next). She was also great for the little stuff - positioning furniture, helping organize the kitchen, etc. We could not have had a better experience and would not hesitate to seek her advice again.

When I reached out to Amy and told her what I needed, she made it happen! Finding pieces in one room that would be better in another; creating flow where corners or awkwardness had previously interrupted it; and most importantly, making this brand new space feel like our home. Working with Amy is quite a treat! She's professional, detail oriented, and has resources for whatever a home and family might need! Having an understanding of different perspectives in decor is a HUGE plus, too, as a simple mention of feng shui (which I know nearly nothing about) opened up a whole new conversation about placement of plants and honorary placement of our dearly departed pets! She has amazing energy, practical sensibilities, and a keen understanding of family functioning so she can help turn a house into a home. BIG SIGH! I adore my home now!
